Yes SVG and Canvas are HTML5 features that are very nifty. Canvas has an excellent Javascript API, comparable, though not identical, to the Cairo graphics library for C/C++. A big shame is that MathML seems to have died. It is only supported in Gecko-based browsers like Firefox, which has rapidly diminishing market share. So we still have to embed images to represent mathematics (poorly) like it was 1993. -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dr Russell Standish Phone 0425 253119 (mobile) Principal, High Performance Coders Visiting Senior Research Fellow [email protected] Economics, Kingston University http://www.hpcoders.com.au ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ============================================================ FRIAM Applied Complexity Group listserv Meets Fridays 9a-11:30 at cafe at St. John's College to unsubscribe http://redfish.com/mailman/listinfo/friam_redfish.com FRIAM-COMIC http://friam-comic.blogspot.com/ by Dr. Strangelove
